Loving Spring!!

We headed outside after "school" and just simply enjoyed the gorgeous weather - in the high 70's today. Isn't my girl beautiful?

Kicking back on the porch swing!



Trying not to make camera to eye contact with the crazy camera lady...
(Bribery of M&M's doesn't even work anymore)


Taking it all in... the last remnants of fall. But the grass is getting green!


Lately, all Sophie has wanted to wear are dresses... she will not wear anything else outside of the house without massive bursts of tears and I feel like a monster mommy making her dress in cute clothes that do not have any twirl factor! I remember this stage with Morgan too. Little girls just look so cute in dresses! And big bows, of course!

Another fetish is bandaids... she is always wearing at least one somewhere on her body and every day she discovers a new "boo boo" that must have a bandaid. I think I should buy stock in those magical little sticky make-it-all-better bandages. It is actually quite humorous!

We are gearing up for a week at the beach! Spring Break is in T minus 3 days!! Luckily, my brother is hanging out at home with the poochies while we are gone. Sophie is really going to miss Uncle Tyler when he moves to CA after we get back! I will too!


Happy Spring!!!

She is definitely a beauty! I can't wait to give her a big hug in October! I'm totally there with you on the band aids. That's just a battle I choose not to fight so I too should buy stock in band aid companies! By the way, you know Hanna makes a dresses called Love To Twirl. Great twirl factor! :)

I was just saying this morning HOW MANY DRESSES I have purchased at the first hint of springwear!! I gotta agree nothing says SWEETNESS like a cute little dress w/a bow! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!

Although I might add, my little one likes to "pick out her OWN SHOES, I might be a little compliant...but...a dressy shoe and a boot doesn't quite make the cut!! TALK ABOUT EXTREME DRAMA trying to get her to "comply"! This mornings wardrobe on the way to daycare....CUTEST SPRING DRESS EVER complete w/beautiful bows and....the crummiest banged up black crocks ever!!!

PS So far as bandaids...SHE REALLY DISLIKE THEM, anything stuck to her skin, is a little overwhelming for her!! I think she 'identifies" the bandaid w/a "shot" and has absolutely nothing to do with them whatsoever!! Hey there's an idea, I can lay bandaids around any shoes I DON'T want her to wear that day!! I'm getting smarter and smarter everyday (tee-hee)

Great pics of Bug! I can see where Morgan gets her gorgeous smile from...Uncle Tyler has the same one!

Awww...I want a little girl to dress up. :)

Colter does the band-aid thing, too. :) My husband always puts a band aid on his toe before he plays basketball (I guess he gets blisters on a certain spot?), so Colter often has bandaged toes. He likes to be like Daddy. :)
